  C[G]an you tell m[D]e what h[C]appened to the blos[G]som,

  Bla[C]ackberry blos[G]som when the s[D]ummertime came?

  The b[G]lackberry b[D]lossom, oh the l[C]ast time I s[G]aw one

  Was d[C]own in the b[G]ramble where I r[D]ambled in the s[G]pring 

  The [Em]bramble was wild I was torn by the briars 

  My l[D]ove he wooed me as I lie there 

  With a f[Em]lower in my hair and my cheeks all flashy 

  Was the b[C]lackberry b[G]lossom from the b[D]lackberry b[G]ush

  

  When I picked the berry I didn't miss the blossom 

  The blackberry blossom was white as the snow 

  But the berry that it brings is sweeter than molasses 

  And black as the wings of an Arkansas crow 

  The Arkansas crow is a devil and a demon 

  Known for his cackling and his screaming 

  Driving away the swallow and the thrush 

  >From the blackberry blossom and the blackberry bush

  

  I was picking berries when that crow flew above me 

  Carrying my lover so far away 

  Now each spring I lay a blackberry blossom 

  By a cold gravestone on the Arkansas clay 

  The Arkansas clay is rocky and hard 

  With weeds growing over in the old graveyard 

  And the day settles down to an evening hush  

  Over the blackberry blossom and the blackberry bush.
